April 1 is a day on which, in some countries, people try to play tricks on others. If one succeeds (成功) in tricking somebody, one laughs and says, “April Fool”. And then the person who has been tricked usually laughs, too.
One April 1, a country bus was going along a winding(弯曲的) road when it slowed down and stopped. The driver anxiously turned switches(开关) and pressed buttons, but nothing happened. Then he turned to the passengers with a worried look on his face and said, “This poor bus is getting old. It isn't going as well as it used to. There's only one thing to do if we want to get home today. I shall count three, and on the word ‘three’, I want you all to lean(倾斜) forward suddenly as hard as you can. That should get the bus started again. But if it doesn't, I am afraid there is nothing else I can do. Now, all of you lean back as far as you can in your seats and get ready. ”
The passengers all obediently (顺从地) pressed back against their seats and waited anxiously.
Then the driver turned to the bus front and asked, “Are you ready?”
The passengers hardly had enough breath to answer, “Yes”.
“One! Two! Three! ” counted the driver. The passengers all swung forward suddenly on the word “three”, and the bus started up at a great rate.
The passengers breathed more easily and began to smile with relief (宽慰). But their smiles turned to a surprised and then a delighted laughter when the driver merrily cried, “April Fools! ”
